Information You Choose to Submit
Search Terms
A name, location, or other term entered in an embedded search tool is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. Cumberland County Recent Arrests does not store or log those queries on its own systems.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the details needed to answer it. We do not share a message outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
Routine logs and analytics may collect details when a page loads, including:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device category and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on them;
- the referring website, when available; and
- date and time information.
Cookies
Cookies help measure how people use the site. A browser can reject or delete cookies, although some features may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
- Operate the website and maintain performance;
- send a search request to the selected partner service;
- understand which Cumberland County guides visitors find useful;
- diagnose errors and other technical problems; and
- display advertising that may reflect a visitor’s interests.
External Websites and Advertising
This site links to the Cumberland County Sheriff, Circuit Clerk, Illinois Department of Corrections, federal locators, other government portals, and outside search tools. After a visitor follows a link, the destination’s privacy policy controls its collection and use of information.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select targeted advertising. That tracking occurs under the partner’s practices, not as a Cumberland County government function.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Information may nevertheless be processed or disclosed to:
- search partners that receive a submitted query;
- analytics vendors that measure site use;
- advertising networks; and
- law-enforcement or other government authorities when disclosure is required by a valid legal order.
Security Measures and Limits
Reasonable, commonly used safeguards are applied to information under our control. No website, network, or internet transmission can be guaranteed secure, however, and we cannot promise protection against every breach.
Visitors Younger Than 18
This website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Get in Touch page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you;
- request correction of inaccurate information;
- ask that eligible personal information be erased; and
- object to or opt out of certain processing where applicable.
Illinois public records held by the sheriff or courts are controlled by those agencies under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140. A request to this private site does not alter an official record.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as practices or legal requirements change. A revision becomes available on this page with an updated effective date.
